- The plaintiffs are a husband and wife. The husband went to high school with the defendant, so they hired the defendant to build two new decks on their house. The plaintiffs say the decks were built incorrectly and in bad shape. They’re suing for their money back. The defendant argues the plaintiffs were happy with the work and shared photos of the decks when the work was finished.
Case: 31-225. - Zábava
The defendant's ego bigger than his expertise.
by a mile
I bet it's bigger than a lot of things on that guy
@@lauraanne5175 🤣
It's disappointing since he's pretty good looking
When the judge said “ooohhh tell him who I am” I lost it 😂😂😂
i did too.
Me too
I loved when the judge let the stupid defendant have it!!! I was like wrong move buddy!!
My head is still spinning
@@jaynecampbell4396 lucky you, my head fell off.
when defendant questioned her construction competency I nearly dove under the table!
🤣😂😂 if I were him I will move to a cave.
the way I cackled when he said "you're a judge not a construction expert"
The defendant didn't know who he was talking to 😂
he really didn't. but after he will always know and remember.
To me the plantiff deserves a complete refund. The defendant is negligent.
Woah woah woah Adrian?? How can you say that? The defendant is a person of color how could you say this?? You're so outspoken against the mistreatment of people of color in the other videos but now you're being racist??
Negligent is good but I would use the word incompetent
The issues here are contract performance (or breach) and workmanship (competence).
@Tiger Bandaid you may be right. I watch this guy and I believe he thinks he did a decent job, I really don't think he has a clue about carpentry. His expression when the up side down deck board was shown, which is carpentry 101, said to me he's just an incompetent clown.
Judge has to go by their states limit in small claims, she could not rule fore more than $3,000 their state max
Many business owners and freelancers hurt themselves by not providing quality service. Instead, they do a half job for a quick buck, not realizing it is more profitable to maintain a good rapport with customers because they will continue to use their services or recommend them to others. A reputation for doing shoddy work can cost them long-term and deter future customers.
It just takes one cistomer to torpedo you!
I truly believe this guy did a half ass job because he doesn't know what the hell he is doing.
defendant is a clown and i wonder if he is really a contractor because every contractor and non contractor who does any outdoor woodwork knows u always use rust proof nails . he kept saying " they live at the beach " but even if its not at the beach u still have to use rust proof nails because the first time it rains they are gonna rust like crazy if they are not rust proof nails . and he was gaslighting the judge trying to make her feel a lack of confidence in her own judgement like she was delusional and didnt know what she was talking about .
@Tiger Bandaid Google is your friend! 🙄🙄🤯
@Tiger Bandaid good relationship
Doug Llewelyn to the defendant: “Good luck - you’re gonna need it.” 😁
Doug to the plaintiffs: “High school was a long long time ago, wasn’t it?” 😂
😂😂😂
i've said it before, and i'll say it again: his shade is like a middle-ages guillotine.
Doug is a damn trip 😂😂
Judge Mathis would’ve NEVER let the defendant talk to him like that! Get out! Contempt! You lose!! He’s an arrogant piece of… work.
Work = shit
😂😂
What an arrogant jerk.
Wow! The audacity! He kept making excuses & when that didn’t work he snapped.
He wont be busy anymore 🤣🤣🤣
Right bc what Doug said ... good luck! You're gonna need it!!! 💀 Doug's the absolute bessssttttt!!! 😂
I threw me hand up SO HIGH when she asked “tell him who I am”
I was sooooooo ready to tell
Him who she was
People like that need to understand that just because business may be good now, it usually doesn’t last forever. A happy client will get you maybe 1-3 referrals if you’re lucky. An unhappy client will make you lose 10-20 potential ones.
Bad news travels fast..
" I'm still busy! " Once Any potential clients see this infomercial for him, let's see how busy he is!
To me this is sweeter justice than getting all of the money back. Now this guy is exposed and anytime someone does minimal research this will pop up because the defendant actually used his full name...
By his logic every deck and home built by the beach should have fallen down. I'm not a contractor and the deck I built looks better than that. I also used coated decking screws.
This dude is an absolute jerk. He asked about his work by Douglas and his says "I'm busy". You were busy, until this episode gets out. He absolutely doesn't care that he did a trash job and his attitude is discussing.‼️
I agree completely with your sentiment, but the former teacher in me still has this reflex, so please bear with me. Believe it or not, I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just trying to help. And this very well could have been a typo or autocorrect in your comment, but just in case you or others were wondering, I think what you meant was "disgusting" when referring to his attitude, and not "discussing" (which is what you wrote).
Silly contractor 🤦shows up with a nail file while Judge Milian whips out a buzzsaw!
Dude, never bring a butter knife to a samurai sword fight. 🤭
They should have gotten a lawyer and gotten their money back plus the cost to get the original deck replaced. That defendant really doesn't care about his clients. I'm sure he has a lot of unhappy clients. They just haven't sued him on TV.
A lot of the work he didn't do. I bet he hired people that had no idea what they were doing.
It didn't help the defendant when he said that he's been doing this for more than 21 years. After all those years you think he would have learned how to do it right!
Wow. The defendant is such a baby. The excuses aren't even good. But I loved watching him try to get into the judge like that. So satisfying.
9:00 What bullshit... Installing a 3' stake in the ground for a foundation is ridiculous. Are you kidding me? I built a deck in my backyard, and I dig and poured cement posts. My work came out 100% better than what was shown in those pictures. He's a lowlife scammer!

Maybe he thought he was pitching a tent.
You could see the judge bouncing in her chair…she was BIG mad
Yeah the defendant for yelled at! I love when she gets mad and ripped the defendants a new ass
When he said youre a judge not a contractor i sat up in my bed so damn fast yall 🤣
5:25 damn, the wood is splitting. That's not normal.
that’s using a nail gun instead of drilling screws how it should’ve been
Lol he may have had to pay back less until he did the #1 thing you don’t do PISS OFF THE JUDGE LOL 😂
Can the defendant be any cockier 😂😂😂 glad the judge checked him 😂
I thought by now everyone knew she was the daughter of a CONTRACTOR , WHAT ROCK HAS HE BEEN UNDER? 💯
The defendant is ridiculous. Give them back their money 💰 and kick him to the curb. What an attitude and ego.
That defendant knows not to tell the judge who she is or isn't that literally upset her so quickly and was dumb of him.. way to lose cuz I would've done same as JM did
he was going to lose the case anyway, not because of his comments
He's just an insecure man who doesn't want a female telling him what to do. I have a feeling that was the issue with plaintiff. If her husband called I bet he would have showed.
Anybody else catch at 8:36 the defendant says "nobody wants to see you." ??? Guy is a jerk!
Edit: Also at 11:12 he tells the judge "don't yell at me." Surprised she didn't catch it.
Yes the first one was at 9:36
I didn’t catch that at first. Thanks for posting
The arrogance and disrespect of the defendant at 11:53 😳…
That “I STAND for the national anthem” sign in the back… yeah that makes me feel a slight way! Hmmmm….
I am no deck building expert but I am pretty sure using a nail gun is not the way. You can tell this defendant is lazy and definitely does not stand by his work. He gives people in that business a bad name. He still doesn't get that him not spending 20 mins with them cost him however long appearing in court cost him.
So glad Doug ate him up and got the last word💅🏽😌
"You're not a contractor, you don't know." BIG MISTAKE going there!!!🤣🤣🤣
11:29 For those of us addicted to this show knowing he just f***** up.
Should have gave them the max $5k back…. What a jerk that man was and I hope everybody sees his face and shotty work and not book with him
For what it's worth, although the defendant could have voluntarily chosen to return the full amount to the plaintiff (unlikely), the judge could not mandate that he return more than the statutory maximum for their state for a small claims matter such as this, which was $3000. The judge gave them back as much as she was able, but she is still bound by the law. Additionally, I think it was likely a typo or autocorrect, but just in case, I think you meant "shoddy" work, rather than "shotty" work (which is what you wrote).
Hard to believe that the guy did not even both to address a client. He got the money and ran. I don't see how he can have any business, for it is clear he does shoddy work.
he was listening to Steve Miller Band -Take the Money and Run
Happy Friday. Watching from Australia
I love when this side of JM comes out! You tell him Judge 👩🏻⚖️
Why would a business owner come on national TV and basically admit he doesn't have time for people after he leaves their property (with the money)? He was such a jerk to the judge too. I hope he loses some business over it. I know they say there's no such thing as bad publicity but hopefully he'll be the exception.
The Defendant needs to stop making up excuses I don’t blame the judge for calling him out on things !
They should have asked to be dismissed without prejudice to be brought up in a different court to get more money.
12:07 oooooh soon as he told the judge she wasn’t an expert his case was OVER 😂
shady contractors are everywhere. Never pay them the full amount upfront.
DOUG😂 "they're gonna be shown all across the country. Everybody is gonna say you did a lousy job, do you know that?"
I had no idea a deck could go so wrong!! Wow.🔨
Luv the Title of this one, fits perfectly
they are drywall screws
Doug, the petty king😂
"There os nothing more probative or more devastating in evidence than the voice of your opponent om a tape recording making admissions that will close the deal on your case."
*coughAmberHeardcough*
The plaintiff went to HS with the defendant? Plaintiff looks way older
He won't be busy long doing that type work. Also he didn't do his homework the judge has made it clear she comes from a contractor family. He put the nails in his own coffin.
Those are common nails he used not galvanized. The stake is for fencing or mailboxes not as support for any structural or heavy load. This guy is a joke!!!
Omg…tell him who I am!! 🙊🙊🙊
Just because your family works in a field doesn’t mean you know everything about it.
No carpenter worth his salt uses NAILS anymore, screws all the way and countersunk at that.
NO FOOTINGS????? Seriously, FFS! This guy needs to be black listed.
Right, let's do it!
The defendant seem like he was a jerk in high school and never out grew it. Smh
That defendant was such a jerk. Lousy attitude. I am glad he was called out.
The plaintiff’s experience/story is literally identical to mine! I had to take the contractor who did my deck to the state board and he was threatened by them with fines and probation in order to get any money back smh. He sounded just like this guy! He ghosted me after agreeing he would come back and fix it. What’s even more disappointing is that I had planned on hiring him for several more projects in my house but he lost my business after that whole situation smh
I jus live for the words from this dude 😂good luck ur gonna need it 😂😂😂
This is why you don't take ANY construction/contracting job to JM🤣
The defendant was such a fool
"you're just a judge, what do you know". Wow...I can see from the pics he is sloppy with his work!
I think it's hilarious that Doug is commenting to them how long ago high school was when it was way way longer ago for him. Lol
This is what they call garden heart Redwood which also has what they call "A" grade which is yellow Lumber mixed in with the red another words it's not what they call clear all hart which is solid red , and come strictly from the center of the redwood tree Garden heart Redwood it is green Lumber full of water
When you pound 16 penny galvanized nails into green Redwood the Redwood bleeds from the water causing it to stain black that's what you see that's what you get from garden heart Redwood... this is why most people use clear all heart or clear B grade which is dry Redwood a lot more expensive to use it's not wet so you don't have black stains from pounding Nails in it most people use screws in the center decking about the length of a 16 penny nail your cross pieces underneath the deck can be green Lumber Redwood which will bleed but you won't see it the decking covers it and when you take an 8 Penny or 16 penny turn it upside down and hit the the point a couple times then pound it in and it won't split the lumber I have literally handled millions of board feet of Redwood so I know what I'm talkin about and also built Redwood decks which are huge Decks
Remember clear all heart Redwood is not green B grade Redwood is also dry with some knots in it Garden heart Redwood is green with knots in it.... like I said most people use clear all heart Redwood the only people that use Garden heart Redwood which is green are people that are trying to save money so they really don't have a bitch about the black water bleeding out of the nail holes....... I worked wholesale lumber for a company in Michigan we serviced Indiana Ohio and Michigan loading semi truck and trailers I've literally handled millions of board feet of redwood all kinds of it and also worked for a top contractor in Marin Co. where we built decks 20 feet up in the air on the side of a mountain......
Happy trails.......
JM was over the defendant and his last words to the Judge very disrespectful. Glad the defendant lost.
You use stainless fasteners when around salt water. The air around the beach is extremely corrosive to most metals. We use a stone coated stainless steel to do metal roofs along the beaches here in Florida. All the fasteners are not even exposed to the elements (they're under the material) and they're still stainless steel.
Doug- "Michael does it bother you that your lousy work is going to be broadcast across the country? Huh? Does it huh?"
Michael, spawn of deck demons- "NUH. IM A BUSY LITTLE DECK DEMON . My dad, the deck devil, who doesn't give a pineapple donut for his client's satisfaction is constantly sending shmucks my way, cause we're all pretty good looking in our family. Hah."
Doug- I think you forgot which Court show you're in, Michael. No one is prettier than Judge Milano- and the construction Angels know she knows her construction stuff. Bye bye Michael- good luck with that attitude of yours..."
"It should only last 20 minutes" says no one EVER about work!!! He's a scammer!!!
I thought the plaintiff's were daughter and dad at 1st
More like grandpa.
@@Childfree334 😂😂😂
Dude is missing all of his teeth, you can hear that 90 year old gummy lisp.
@@Fribee83 Dental procedures ain't cheap....
@@ButtonsCasey Yea, but if you're in your 40s and had all your teeth pulled, something is wrong. Then again, they have a "I stand for our national anthem" sign so it's not like they're in favor of government-assisted dental care.
Now that it's zoom court, what's the qualifications for the show? That you have to live in a trailer or hotel room?
Haha!
Did he actually say "don't yell at me" at one point?!?
I'm glad this crook lost, and I hope he looses a lot of his clientele.
Defendant shoulda done some homework before coming at JM 😂
I'm so glad the plaintiffs won. But just because you have family members in a certain occupation does not mean you're an expert. Just because she's a judge, does that mean her daughters are judges too? Her construction reasoning is always so stupid.
I don't know nor do I want to rewind the video, but never pay all the money owed upfront. For this very reason.
RIP arrogant contractor
They REALLY should've gone to a bigger court over this!!!
Just because you’ve been doing something for twenty years doesn’t mean you’ve been doing it right for twenty years.
That guy is a bad contractor. Hot dipped galvanized should be used with treated lumber not standard steel, coated deck screws are the best way. When a deck builder doesn't even know how to lay deck boards in relation to the wood grain he's a clown, that's carpentry 101. I would love to have seen the main deck supports.
defendant is a clown and i wonder if he is really a contractor because every contractor and non contractor who does any outdoor woodwork knows u always use rust proof nails . he kept saying " they live at the beach " but even if its not at the beach u still have to use rust proof nails because the first time it rains they are gonna rust like crazy if they are not rust proof nails . and he was gaslighting the judge trying to make her feel a lack of confidence in her own judgement like she was delusional and didnt know what she was talking about .
Doug; Good luck to you you're gonna need it....lmbo he don't give a bleep!
My dad's a contractor. Trust me: this guy could've made time if he ever actually intended to try to fix that mess!!!
It doesn't sound right.... "I'm too busy to go fix it."
Oh no he didn't ...... Hahahahah I was looking round the room to see if those round me heard what stupid thing he said. I'm sat here alone !!!!
THIS is why you don’t hire friends!
Want to avoid drama: Do it once, do it right.
Plus, dude looks like a creep.

I can't believe how remarkably crappy a job that guy did, un - freakin' - believable! And this guy does that for a living? Was he drunk when he did it, was he high ,,, or is he really just very very bad at what he does. Good God, children can do better than that. This guy needs to be pushing a broom for a living, hopefully he wouldn't screw that up ,,,, hopefully. There's no defence for such outstandingly bad work, there just isn't.
The defendant was super disrespectful. Not too mention if you do a crappy job you take the time to make it right. Especially when you are a small operation.
I don't think the nails are galvanized, I've used those and it has never did that. also wood does seem to be treated. lot's of small problems on this project. I don't think guys math is up to par. It's simple measurements.
Clearly he doesn’t know the judge’s history. Family full of contractors and a husband that loves his cars 😂. Super crappy work
Why no protectant or stain?..to protect the wood?
i have seen nail like that now i maybe wrong but i don't think that galvanized anything was used
I knew he was going to try her about not being a contractor and she was going to have to set him straight!
YESSSS the defendant set her OFF with his machismo bullshit amazing 🤩
@ 11:10 did he just tell the judge "don't yell at me"??? WHat a POS. Big time looser. His behavior and attitude scream volumes of who he is.
